Intensifying global concern grips Washington as Hindu Action demands urgent US measures against rampant violence targeting Bangladesh’s Hindus. Paralleling Pakistan’s grim legacy, recent political changes have unleashed horrors on minorities, prompting a fierce advocacy drive.
During a compelling Washington exhibit, leader Utsav Chakravarty outlined Hindu Action’s strategy: immersive experiences, films, and lawmaker interactions to illuminate South Asian Hindu struggles. He implored Congress and the government for a harder line on the worsening crisis.
Ancient natives in Pakistan, Hindus now scrape by at 1.5% of the populace, battling abductions, forced conversions, and trafficking—nightmares Hindu Action combats directly, rescuing girls and archiving refugee narratives from India.
Chakravarty invoked 1971’s atrocities: 2.8 million Hindus massacred by Pakistani military and Jamaat extremists in months. Fast-forward 18 months: Jamaat’s election momentum coincides with escalated savagery—overt beatings, shaming, murders, and burnings that have outraged international audiences.
Hindu Action eyes a pivotal February 10 congressional session to demand fact-fueled aggression. Lamenting US legislators’ prior indifference, Chakravarty stressed Hindu Americans’ duty to inform and activate the administration for minority defense.
